There is guy (a fellow Tiger as it happens) who posts Footy Classified full episodes online for anyone interested. Nine annoyingly only post it as chopped up segments with embedded ads and out of sequence. PM me for the link.

I seem to be having trouble reaching the sites that cannot be named for fear of the post being binned quicker than a cat caught in a torrential rain storm.

Anyone el.se having the same problems ?

I see the great humanitarian Abbott is ditching Australia Network to punish Aunty for telling no lies.

Sure is going to hurt all of us overseas schmucks that love our AFL.

He's a knob. But Rudd tried the same thing.

Anyway, knowing this government, Aus Net will drop the footy and a Murdoch channel will pick it up.

I know the last time it looked like AN would lose the AFL, Sentana were in negotiations to pick it up.

Also, the streaming AFL service isn't too bad at all especially as you can get an RFC members package that includes it.

I reckon he'd do a brilliant cover. Then they could show it on Setanta Sports

However much it pains me to say it, the streaming on afl.com.au is pretty good.

Wait till its available in HD, then you will love it

I was told last year that the AFL website would be implementing replays domestically on their site in HD for 2014 - free for Bigpond users.

Haven't heard anything since but there is no reason they can't implement live streaming/replays in HD with todays technology.

They should take a look at the NBA.tv app to appease footy fans after handing out the dribble that is SD in recent history.

That NBA.tv live stream certainly is what the AFL should be trying to emulate.

I don't know if this is hidden away somewhere in the previous 31 pages - but - OSN1 is playing all NAB Challenge games live.

Cheers

Been traveling a lot recently so only just sent RFC my CC to renew membership, are RFC still offering the AFL overseas Live coverage? last year it was said to be just for Tigers games but i actually was able to watch every game :) i guess its only a hundred bucks or so for AFL so would do that if only Tigers games..
